Blonder Tongue agile modulator settings

Good Luck with those Phasecom modulators... My youthful experience includes building two headends with those things. Let's just say you're in for a thrill if you try running BTSC or SSAVI through them!

Sadly, had to junk them both - they were upstream modulators for channels t7 and t10, not TV VHF channels 7 and 10 as I originally believed. Gave the guts for the T7 to a local ham - he's using the 7MHz oscillator for some project.

I just bought a Blonder Tongue AM-40 agile modulator so I could use analog portable and handheld TVs again. I hooked a DTV converter up to the modulator, a pair of set top aerials for a transmitting antenna and set the modulator to broadcast on channel five. Within a few minutes I had it working perfect and a very strong signal receivable all over the house. I will find a permanent hidden spot for it and let it run 24/7 so I can use my Sony Watchman and other small black and white sets like they were meant to be. These things are the greatest. I wish I had the room for a half dozen each with a DTV box covering a different channel all mounted in a rack or cabinet. Mine did not come with any instructions for the dip switches but I was able to figure it out.
